James Murray, 54, has been named as the man who died after his lorry overturned on the M8 at Hermiston Gate on Tuesday, August 23 at around 4pm.

He was rescued from the heavy goods vehicle after the incident, but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The road was closed for around 12 hours while crash scene investigators recovered the lorry and examined the area.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

In a statement, Mr Murray’s wife, Julie Murray, said he was a “fantastic dad” to their son and daughter.

She said: “There are no words that can truly describe the devastation and pain our family feels just now.

“James was my life and a fantastic dad to Lauren and Jamie and also a wonderful son.

“It’s so hard to comprehend what has happened and to think we will never see his smile or hear his laughter again.”

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances around the incident.

Anyone with information that has not yet spoken to police is asked to call 101, quoting reference 2184 of August 23.
